About Ox Wagons @ Bergrivier Eco Retreat

Ox Wagons provide glamping accommodation in Thornhill at the Bergrivier Eco Retreat. Renew mind, body and soul in the most tranquil settings nature can offer. Situated on the world-famous Baviaanskloof Route and close to the hamlets of Loerie, Hankey and Patensie, this beautiful farm has been home to the Williams family for the past 150 years. There are three Ox Wagons for the more adventurous guest. Two of the wagons have a double bed, with an adjoining cabin providing sleeping space for two more guests on a bunk bed or sofa bed and there is an ox-wagon that only sleeps two. Free Wi-Fi (at the farmhouse). Please see the individual room descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice. The pioneer site also features a communal lapa, or sheltered area, where guests can share their stories around a campfire. There are basic eating and cooking utensils, as well as a basin for washing dishes. A small gas stove and a fridge are also available. The farm is situated in the scenic Gamtoos Valley where rivers, waterfalls and rolling hills abound. It is a nature-lovers paradise. Activities include hiking, bird watching, stargazing, visiting the African Dawn Bird Sanctuary, enjoying time at the Jeffreys Bay Bike Park, surfing at J-Bay and horse riding at Papiesfontein.
